Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18

In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…

Impact of Two-Population -particle Distributions on Plasma Stability

Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Rossana De Marco +3

The stability of weakly collisional plasmas is well represented by linear theory, and the generated waves play an essential role in the thermodynamics of these systems. The velocit…

In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16

After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…

Comparative study of the kinetic properties of proton and alpha beams in the Alfvénic wind observed by SWA-PAS onboard Solar Orbiter

Roberto Bruno, Rossana DeMarco, Raffaella D Amicis +12

The problems of heating and acceleration of solar wind particles are of significant and enduring interest in astrophysics. The interactions between waves and particles are crucial…

CAESAR: Space Weather archive prototype for ASPIS

Marco Molinaro, Valerio Formato, Carmelo Magnafico +18

The project CAESAR (Comprehensive spAce wEather Studies for the ASPIS prototype Realization) is aimed to tackle all the relevant aspects of Space Weather (SWE) and realize the prot…

Magnetic reconnection as an erosion mechanism for magnetic switchbacks

G. H. H. Suen, C. J. Owen, D. Verscharen +3

Magnetic switchbacks are localised polarity reversals in the radial component of the heliospheric magnetic field. Observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown that they ar…

Differential kinetic dynamics and heating of ions in the turbulent solar wind

F. Valentini, D. Perrone, S. Stabile +14

The solar wind plasma is a fully ionized and turbulent gas ejected by the outer layers of the solar corona at very high speed, mainly composed by protons and electrons, with a smal…
